▶ Your Answer : Even though I see many individuals who are successful by self-education, I think that it is better to have a teacher when you try to learn something because it is faster, more effective and getting a better result than teaching oneself. First of all, if you have a teacher, you can learn faster than studying by yourself. For example, when you study a history of social science, it will take a lot of time reading all kinds of history books. However, if you learn it from a teacher by listening the lecture, you will be able to understand the whole picture in a shorter period. In other words, learning from a teacher is similar to reaching the destination by using an airplane; on the other hand, studying alone can be compared to lonely walking a long journey on feet by yourself. In addition, having a teacher when you learn some tasks is a more effective way than teaching yourself. One of the examples for it is when you learn how to cook. If you start learning the cooking skill by yourself, you will have to get through a number of trials and errors to master it. Sometimes, you may burn flour and eggs as well as other ingredients by ill-controlled temperature on the stove. However, by learning from a professional chef or seasoned cooks, you will reduce mistakes or ruining the dishes. Finally, besides the fast learning and effectiveness, it is most likely to have a successful fruit, compared to self-learning. The best example of this can be applied to learning a foreign language. It is not only hard to master the second language, but also get a successful result if you teach yourself. In contrast, if you learn it from a native teacher who speaks the target language, you will be most likely successful in several ways by achieving a good grammar, natural pronunciation, and fluent speaking. To recap briefly, having a teacher when learning some tasks is even better than learning by yourself. It guides you to learn what you want to know at a fast rate, effectively and successfully.
